This cat is unnerving!
The last cat left in our house is my Liddle Buddy's younger brother. He is 15, from the litter following Liddle Buddy's litter. That familial heritage aside, Liddle Buddy was the prototypical Solitary Cat, while her brother here, The Mayor, is as gregarious as she was not.
She stayed, by choice, in our offices, downstairs. Her favorite spot was a windowsill that gave her a nice place to lay and a panoramic view of the yard and all the wildlife that passes by. She'd stay there, on the floor at the siding door, or in my office, at my feet.
The only thing they had in common, she and The Mayor, is they were talkers.
When the Mayor came to live here, we closed the downstairs door to keep the peace. Liddle Buddy would just not tolerate another cat.
Now that my Liddle Buddy is gone (and I sure do miss her), The Mayor has been exploring her turf. He started by coming into my office and sitting under my desk. Just like her, he bats at my toes if I poke at him (I rarely wear shoes).
Today was the clincher. He was on her windowsill. While he is thinner and a little bit bigger, he is the same color - your basic, nothing special, gray tabby cat.
I thought it was her sitting there.
Sparkly saw him and thought the very same thing for second.
Its unnerving.
He's a great cat.
I miss my Liddle Buddy a lot.
